LCS Tip-Up Bird Releaser

The most important element in steadying pointing dogs and training retrievers to sit to flush is live birds! Now you can plant and release your training birds without the need for an expensive launcher. Large enough to contain a chukar, quail, or pigeon, but compact and light enough to carry into the field. An easy way to plant birds and keep them from flying or running off, while eliminating the noise of a mechanical launcher for starting puppies and young dogs. You simply tilt the trap up with your foot to release the bird. Sturdy steel rod construction and highly durable powder coating ensure long life and rust resistance.

This is a great training tool for teaching the pointing dog that the hunter flushes the bird. If pup tries to jump in he gets a mouthful of metal, and when he stays steady he gets to see the shooter kick the bird up. There is no noise to startle pup either. I have come to depend on these as a primary training tool.
